Abstract | Honda of America is part of a global company that strives to be competitive all over the world. In order to maintain and increase its competitiveness, the company focuses intensely on training and retraining its workers and on fostering team spirit. The company maintains extensive training facilities that offer many courses to employees. Employees learn new jobs often, even twice a year. In addition, hundreds of employees go to Japan every year for training in new manufacturing processes. Honda's commitment to education is symbolized by its "racing spirit," taken from its auto racing success. The "racing spirit" philosophy has five components: (1) seek the challenge; (2) be ready on time; (3) teamwork; (4) quick response; and (5) winner take all. These principles can be applied to education; educators can use them to prepare students for the realities and opportunities of the more competitive global environment of tomorrow. (KC) |
